Retail Design Institute: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

The Retail Design Institute Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Council hosted the first in a series of webinars tackling diversity. We learned from other Professional Organizations and how they are tackling diversity through membership, accreditation and advocacy and how they are actively affecting change through the power of their organizations.

As special thanks to Keisha, Elsie, Gregory and Kavitha for their ongoing work with their organizations and joining us to share their perspectives.
